Morphometric studies of Sideritis scardica Grsb. and S. syriaca L. in their natural populations in Bulgaria

The paper aimed at studying the morphometric variation in eight natural populations of two rare Sideritis species occurring in Bulgaria. Thirteen measured traits and four ratios were used to reveal the degree and distribution of variation. Most traits exhibited moderate to high variation and the most dif...

Diabetic cardiomyopathy: factual or factoid?

SUMMARY Although long ago described, there is no established consensus regarding the real existence of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (CMPDM). Due to its complex pathophysiology, it has been difficult for clinical and experimental research to establish clear connections between diabetes mellitus (DM) and heart ...

Polymorphism in the interleukin-10 gene is associated with overactive bladder phenotype associated with HTLV-1 infection

Abstract INTRODUCTION Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-associated inflammatory diseases are not well understood; however, their clinical manifestations may be influenced by the host genetic background. METHODS We genotyped 298 individuals with HTLV-1 and 380 controls for interleukin-10...

Emergence of aph(3')-VI and accumulation of aminoglycoside modifying enzyme genes in KPC-2-possessing Enterobacter aerogenes isolates from infections and colonization in patients from Recife-PE, Brazil

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to characterize genes of aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs) in colonizing and infecting isolates of E. aerogenes harboring bla KPC from patients at a public hospital in Recife-PE, Brazil. METHODS: We analyzed 29 E. aerogenes clinical isolates...
